jeffp, I mentioned the WIllamette Valley Pinot Noir. That is an Oregon wine. Their Pinot Gris is also excellent. Washington state has some excellent wine also.

CarolC   Terrific discriptive writing. Forever now I will remember notes missing in wine. It is a perefect way of describing.

Emma, Great quotes!

I also love many of the AUstralian and New Zealand wined. The NEw Zealand people have also pioneered the screw cap on the Riesling which seems to work well for wine that will be drunk in a year or so.
